Elem. Dress Policy
Attire/footwear:

My goal is to provide your child with a safe and successful learning environment. In order for this to happen, students need to be dressed appropriately. Footwear and clothing are the biggest hindrances to being physically active. Sneakers are the only option for shoes; other types of footwear can cause safety concerns during class. PE is a more structured setting than recess, so students should dress accordingly.

  • All students are required to wear sneakers. NO sandals, clogs, crocs, boots, heelies, slip-ons, or dress shoes.
  • Please make sure your child dresses in layers. Depending on the weather and time of year, we may have class outside. Hats and/or sunglasses are acceptable while outdoors.
  • Loose fitting pants must be worn with a belt. Students should not be holding pants up as they run. Also, pants should not be covering shoes as the child walks/runs—this is a safety issue.
  • Jewelry is not recommended—especially dangly earrings, necklaces, or bracelets
  • Tight fitting clothes, skirts, dresses, and tank tops are not recommended.

Elem. Grading

Grades:
My belief is that students need to learn basic movement patterns, as well as fundamental skills. Your child will participate in a variety of activities and games that will give them numerous opportunities to practice these skills. I will be assessing their progress/mastery of these skills throughout the year. Their grade, however, will not be based solely on their skills. Several other key components will make up their grade.

Students will be graded in the following areas:
*Appropriate footwear * Attitude/Sportsmanship/Teamwork
*Participation/Effort *Following Directions

  • Always wears sneakers
  • Always follows directions
  • Always participates and tries their best
  • Always shows good sportsmanship and is a good teammate
  • Always helpful with a good attitude

  • Follows directions
  • Participates and shows effort

  • Usually helpful with a good attitude

  • Rarely wears sneakers
  • Does not follow directions
